The President of Ukraine, Volodímir Zelensky, has warned that the Russian attacks on the country’s electricity grid, which left more than a million Ukrainians without electricity this Saturday, will not stop the advance of his troops to recover the occupied territories.
The Russians “are lying when they say that this terror against our infrastructure and our people can somehow slow down the active actions of our army or create some difficulties for our defense,” Zelensky said in his usual late-night speech.
“Neither this attack by the terrorists nor any other similar attack by them will stop our defenders,” the Ukrainian president stressed. “Our defense forces are getting everything they need to defend the country and they are moving forward every day.”
Russia today left more than a million Ukrainians without power in new attacks against the country’s electricity grid, where concern is also growing about a large dam in the Kherson region, in whose capital the pro-Russian authorities urged citizens this Saturday to leave immediately.
Zelenski has affirmed that even “partially in the dark” life in Ukraine “remains civilized”, unlike what happens in Russia where they have “the same savagery” with electricity “as in ancient times”.
Due to the Russian attacks against its infrastructure, the Ukrainian president has reiterated, once again, the message to the Ukrainians to limit the use of electrical appliances in the hours of greatest electricity consumption.
